Linsey Davis will be adding more commitments to her plate at ABC News as she adds radio responsibilities to go along with television.
ABC News announced in a press release that “ABC News Live Prime” and “World News Tonight – Sunday” anchor will provide the top stories in ABC News Radio’s national 5:00 p.m. ET newscast Monday to Thursday each week.
“Linsey is the triple threat of ABC News. She anchors the evening news on broadcast TV, ABC’s live streaming channel and now on radio,” said Liz Alesse, vice president of ABC Audio.
“It’s a testament to her dedication to reaching audiences across the country on all platforms.”
The live newscast is available to affiliates throughout the ABC News Radio network and is dispersed as a podcast updated hourly on all major podcast outlets.
Additionally, Davis steps into a position held by late “ABC World News Tonight” anchor Peter Jennings and former “Good Morning America” co-anchor Charlie Gibson.
Davis continues to climb the ladder at ABC News since joining the news network in 2007 as a New York-based correspondent for ABC NewsOne, the network’s affiliate news service.
